FOXNEWSW Justice With Judge Jeanine April 1, 2018

Congressman ron desantis, ways your reaction to attorney general Jeff Sessions saying hes going to allow the u. S. Attorney of utah john huber to look into this first then take his recommendation on whether a special counsel is needed . It is a step in the right direction of where he was a few weeks ago. He said i appointed the Inspector General the look at it, hes a fine guy, but he doesnt have any prosecutorial authority. The fact that you have a prosecutor outside the beltway is a step in the right direction. There was a special prosecutor appointed to pursue President Trump when there was no evidence of a criminal violation involving Trumps Campaign and russia. In this instance we have a lot of evidence there were statutes that may have been violated. False statements made to congress. You have potential obstructing congressional investigation. You have all of those things, and clearly the Justice Department has a conflict because they cant investigate themselves. So to me it seems the case for a special counsel is much stronger than it was when rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller. Katie the Inspector General is very respected for the work he has done. But here is congressman bob goodlattes response. We think this should be an investigation outside of the department of justice all together. Is why we continue to call for a special counsel. Katie a lot of people dont know the Inspector General has a lot of power to unveil a lot of the wrongdoing, but he can only remedies reply nary action. He cant prosecute the crimes that may or may not have been committed. Explain to the viewers the jurisdiction the Inspector General has and why the doj might not be able to investigate themselves. The Inspector General is not a prosecutor. So if you identify a criminal violation, he cant get a grand jury indictment or get a subpoena or bring in witness outside the department of justice or fbi and question them. Its more of a bureaucratic function to see what the department can do better. When you have evidence of wrongdoing, that calls for someone with prosecutorial authority. Look at the news of the Andrew Mccabe lying four times to other agents and the Inspector General. Papadopoulos one supposed false statement. The favre american, if they lie to the fbi, they get indicted. But if the Deputy Director if he lies four times he just go to the Inspector General and thats it . We need equal justice that applies to the average american and people in high levels of authority. Katie have you seen the Inspector General report that he has been working on looking into how the fbi handled, including a former Deputy Director of the fbi Andrew Mccabe. Have you seen that . Ka what kind of what kind of insight can you give us . This has been going on 15 months now. I think this thing needs to be brought in for a landing. I think there will be a lot of problems uncovered. This investigation into hillary was badly mishandled from the start. There have been a lot of guys like me saying why arent more heads rolling in the fbi for some of the conduct we have seen. I think part of the reason is people like sessions and Christopher Wray have been waiting for this i. G. Report. Katie i think thats the key question. People see these reports and are waiting for congress to bring some accountability. The frustration is we see all this information all the time yet people keep getting away with it. There needs to be two tracks. The i. G. Report can provide the basis to terminate people like peter strzok, his text messaging. But the prosecutor, hopefully that will evolve into a special counsel. That individual can address criminal violations. Hopefully some of these people who misbehave will be terminated and be out of the government. But you need a special counsel to follow through for criminal liability that is uncovered. Katie switching gears, President Trump gave a speech will infrastructure. Hes going to congress to push through a 1. 5 trillion plan. What else your view from capitol hill on whether that will get done before the midtelephones. The most of important thing he identified is cutting the breweriate i and cutting the bureaucracy and red tape. So the dollar signs to me i think will be debated. But if hes streamlining the way forward for infrastructure, even the existing dollars we have now will be put to good use, and you will see a big improvement. Katie congressman ron desantis, thanks for your time. Senior advisor for the trump 2020 campaign, katrina pierson. I want to start with you and your reaction to attorney general Jeff Sessions punting this off saying this guy is removed from the Justice Department because hes in a faraway state. I have to echo congressman desantis. It makes sense to find somebody outside of d. C. To investigate. But my issue is the standard. Where was the standard when the special counsel was appointed to go after the president and his family. This is a complete and absurd atrocity. Jeff sessions should have appointed a special counsel to investigate this. Jeff sessions reconciled with american citizens who were targeted by obamas irs. What is he trying to confirm . Is he waiting on a confession . It doesnt make any sense. Its going to take a lot more time. In the meantime Robert Mueller is running all over the place. They wont even narrow his scope. Neither you or i or any of the viewers of tonights program could get away with deleting 30,000 emails after receiving a subpoena and still be walking around. Katie david, you agree it should be investigated for another reason. But doesnt the fbi have a credibility problem with the country as a whole and wouldnt a special prosecutor clean some of that up . I think what your audience would wants is for to us follow the rule of law whether democrat or republican to make sure these investigations go forward properly and there are impartial Decision Makers in charge of these investigations. Katrina is confused about the standard. If there is a conflict of interest or extraordinary circumstances. Neither of those are in place. So sessions made the right place. What happened with mueller is very different. The reason we have a special counsel with mueller is trump fired im. When he fired comey that slowed was a conflict of interest. Trump said a week later on nbc he fired comey because let me finish. The reason that we know that there was conflict of interest is trump went on nbc and said i fired comey because of the russia investigation. Thats a true conflict of interest and thats how weenlded up with a special counsel. Sessions decided not to have a special counsel there will be is no such concern. There is a u. S. Attorney in utah who will follow the rules and follow the laws and he doesnt have a conflict of interest. The problem is about evidence. The standard is about evidence from general sessions mut mh itself. There is zero evidence of collusion. When you take Loretta Lynch sitting on the tarmac with bill clinton. You have hundreds of americans unmasked by the Obama Administration. And these new texts between strzok and page, quote the white house is leading on this. The House Intelligence Committee already uncovered fisa abuse. This your conflict. It is a farce and a witch hunt exactly like the president stated. Katie i think people outside the beltway are concerned about this happening to them. I want to switch gears to President Trumps infrastructure speech. Katrina, you are work on his 2020 campaign. He talked in front of 400 Union Members in ohio. Should that concern democrats when they are trying to get back those districts and counties President Trump turned from blue to red . Absolutely. Well let the democrats run on taking away their bonuses. In the meantime the president is making America Great again. Its expanding financing for a lot of these projects. Publicprivate partnerships in place that i would hope would make states more accountable so they could better suit their citizens as well. I think it will be exciting over the summer. Katie infrastructure is usually a democrat issue. Is this something the president will be able to work with democrats on . It should be a bipartisan issue. Im from ohio. We are glad the president went to ohio. The president gave a speech there. He was supposed to talk about infrastructure. But he pretty much talked about himself, his favorite subject. The pro trump people were probably happy to hear that speech. But if you were look for details of the infrastructure program, they were not in that speech. Katie he gave four distinct points on how he wants to implement it. But thats for another time. Judge jeanine gave us a tour of the bible museum on this holy saturday night.

It was going to produce 200,000 jobs. And it did, for them. That was a Hillary Clinton special. She said it would produce 200,000 jobs, and she was right. But it was for them, not for us. Katie that was President Trump giving a strong speech this week with a major focus on north and south korea. Joining us with reaction, author of defeating jihad, dr. Sebastian gorka. Well start with the news of russia, 60 Russian Diplomats expelled from the United States. Whats your reaction to that . Im very happy. We are coming together as a western alliance to take on russia. According to some estimates there are more russian Intelligence Officers actively working in the west than there were at the height of the cold war. And they are destabilizing countries like the ukraine or the mirror abrofd russia or assassinating people on the streets of the u. K. We have to respond. Katie Administration Officials have been saying these diplomats in the United States arent actually Russian Diplomats, they are spies under a diplomatic flag. How is it they have been operating pass spies as an Intelligence Network in the United States for so long and it look this long with the russians boy poisoning a british spy in the u. K. In their he bassy they can be work economics, politics, but every nation deploys intelligence professionals to their embassies. In some cases they are declared. In some cases you have a chief of station. But in the case of russia they pack their embassies full of advisors and economists who have nothing to do with those jobs. They are intelligence collectors, they are members of the kgbs new organization. Katie the United States flag in st. Petersburg today in russia came down. Russia has respond in terms of reciprocity. But it seems that that could be distraction. The expelling of diplomats makes a statement. But should we be worried about real attacks russia could be launching in cyber war. The russians i til trade our energy sector, parts of the energy grid in america. This an important show of force. But should we paying attention of other damages aspects. Whether its in cyber domain, im more concerned in terms of information warfare, psychological information. It was russian propaganda that went i toll steele dossier that Hillary Clinton paid for that was used to obtain the fisa warrant. Thats the kind of thing we have to respond to as well. Katie the president said he wants to take the United States out of syria soon, given wrush has a lot of influence there. I work for the president , the president is not an adventurist. Hes a conservative. Hes a gop president. Doesnt means a neoconservative. He sees the invasion of other peoples countries as fundamentally you be american. We were born as a nation in rebellion to colonialism. He wants our troops out of syria because he wants to do things back home in katie Master Sergeant john dunbar was killed there this week. What should we expect from the meeting between kim jongun and the south korean president. Where are we on all that. This is a dictatorship. This is more stall lynnist than even the height of stollins soviet union. What do dictatorships do . They lie, whether its hitler in munich. Lets remember what reagan said, trust but theirify. This is the first time in 65 years, a north korean head of state wants to meet an american president. But dont expect it to go completely smoothly. Katie next, a special treat. Judge jeanine takes you inside the Beautiful Museum of the bible in our nations capital. Reporter more than a hundred protesters rallied in sacramento today. Clark was unarmed when he was shot. Police say they mistook a cell phone for a gun. Yoautopsy results find was shot8 times and six of the shots were in his back. Pope francis delivering his easter vigil message. He urged people to not be silent from the face of injustices. He baptized 8 people, one of them a nigerian beggar. He became a hero in italy for disarming a robber while standing outside a market begging for spare change. Now back to justice with judge jeanine. Katie the museum of the bible is a spiritual and powerful place to visit in washington, d. C. What better time to take a look back at Jeanine Pirros under view with steve green from the hobly lobby museum. Judge jeanine you have undertaken this mammoth project, 430,000 square feet, the museum of the bible here in washington, d. C. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world. Why . I grew up in a hope that had a love for gods word. I group if a christian home. My parents took us to church and raids our family according to the bible. And it has served us well. Im blessed to be born in a country that our founders built on principles they found in this book. I have been blessed by this book in multiple ways. We wanted to encourage others to consider this book as well. We wanted to inspire them to engage with it. Judge jeanine they say 90 of American Homes have within them a bible. Yet it seems this generation unlike previous generations has never been more distanced from the bible. Why do you think that is . We are probably more ignorant of this book than we have been as a nation. We dont teach it in our schools as we once did. It was regularly taught in our schools so people grew up knowing it. Our founders would speak from the bible and they wouldnt have to give chapter and verse because everybody knew what they were talking about. Today you make a quote from the bible and many people have no idea what the source. Even common phrases in our vernacular come from the bible. Judge jeanine you have created technology to tell the story, technology that didnt exist, you created it and patented it. One specific example. There is a digital docent. A tablet where a visitor can custom mice it can customize it, and it will direct them through the museum using indoor guidance that knows where they are within inches. Judge jeanine downstairs, five doors, how much do they weigh . 16 tons collectively. Judge jeanine how do you deliver 16 tons of doors . One piece at a time. Its amazing how much of our American History reflects quote s from the bible. We are just a few blocks from the United States capitol. Judge jeanine what is written in the United States capitol is found in the bible. There is a geneva bible in the painting. This is where we have scripture around us all day long and in many cases we dont even know it. Phrases from our language that are used. Judge jeanine here you have Victoria Beckham with a tattoo that literally quotes the song of solomon that the bible is so relevant to so many people in so many ways we dont even recognize. One of the things you have done that speaks to how religion plays such an important part of your life is as a not for profit Business Owner of hobby lobby, you took the Obama Administration to the United States supreme court. You fought for religious freedom. You funded the case. The Obama Administration made a mandate that religion be damned and you wou
